Hi,
Beside purchasing Bath kit, is there a posdibility to rent towels and flip-flops? As well, as Budapest card cannot be used while online booking, can tickets be purchased on site for 2 days in advance?
Thanks?
Hello Martina,
towel rental is available in Gellert Baths, but there are often queues building up at the Rental Room (please see on bath map). Please note that the fast track entrance is only for the bath entry, and will not entitle you to have a quicker access to rentals or services.
Therefore, we strongly recommend bringing your own towel to avoid some unnecessary inconvenience. The towels can be rented with a deposit of HUF 2,000 and a towel rental fee of HUF 1,000 (cash only, both).
Flip-flops are warmly recommended to be brought to the bath.
Tickets can be purchased in advance.
I hope I could be of help.
Dear Gellert Spa,
We just booked a Spa Bath Kit for my husband and I. We are looking to be picked up from our hotel, the Pest-Buda Design Hotel at 14:00.
We would like to book a 60 minute massage for the both of us together – thai oil massage. Is it possible? I know we are a little late with the booking. It would work for us at 15:00 or 15:30 if it is suitable time for you.
We would like to get the massage in a cabin at the same time.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Dear Trine,
thank you for contacting us.
I would like to confirm that we have received your booking, and the confirmation email has automatically been sent to your given email address.
I have now forwarded it from our backup email address.
Please check the junk/spam folder of your mailbox too.
Could you please let us know if you have received it?
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Hello!
Do you still do the red wine bath? I have read that in the reviews
And can we book online private spa for 2? If not, how can we do it ahead of the d-day?
Thanks
Hello Elie,
unfortunately the red wine bath is no longer available, but the simple private bath can be booked online on the following page: http://gellertspa.com/gellert-spa-private-bath
Hello. If the couples massage is booked for 2 people, do you put 1 or 2 in the “How Many Packages” field? Also, the couples massage is much more expensive (I believe) than the single massage. It looks like you get the same thing but just for 2 people. Can you please explain the difference.
Thank you!
Dear Kelly,
if you book a couple’s massage, please enter number “1” in the How many? field.
The couple’s massages are always somewhat cheaper than 2 single massages. By buying a couple’s massage instead of the 2 single massages, you can save approx. €7-11, depending on the chosen massage type.
Thank you!
Hello I am confused can I not check in at 0600 if I purchase the tickets online? I am trying to manage my schedule as best possible.
Dear Georgette,
yes, it’s correct, the online tickets are only valid from 9am. If you wish to arrive before 9am, you will need to buy the entry on the spot. Thank you for your understanding.
